  • JahlilWill Jah (@JahlilWill) reported

    @BlizzardCS what needs to be fixed is me being suspended and losing SR in Overwatch because of problems with the server! Fix that!

  • AcidQueenOW Frog Queen 🐸💗 | JunkerQueen pls love me (@AcidQueenOW) reported

    Im having problems with my xbox rn, but if im ae to fix it soon enough ill definelty be streaming Overwatch 2!!

  • leeandloki Queen LaQueefa (@leeandloki) reported

    I’ve been a die hard player of #overwatch (until the China issue) since it’s inception. As a faithful player watching the #overwatch2 footage, I foresee it dying if they don’t reinstate 6v6 play. You’re taking away any fun wildcards/dynamic play and haven’t even realized it.

  • theorie_gg 《theorie》 (@theorie_gg) reported

    Just played a game of Overwatch with a guy who called me a ***** for no reason. When our teammates were like "Dude, what is your problem??" he had the gall to insist that he was streaming and he was going to make clips of them white-knighting to embarrass them all over TikTok.

  • CaramelKaiteki Caramel Kaiteki🍮 | Vtuber (@CaramelKaiteki) reported

    It's actually hilarious to me when people think Overwatch 2 will be the solution to all the problems with Overwatch, when all that'll fix is some of the balancing issues. It won't fix the cheater plague, it won't fix the bad MMR that guarantees a loss on every first game played.

  • TheNightsKitten Night's Kitten (@TheNightsKitten) reported

    I really hope I'll be able to stream Overwatch 2 tomorrow without many issues. I think I'll probably restart the internet before to try and make sure it doesn't **** itself during the stream

  • XanderXCIV XanderArt (@XanderXCIV) reported

    @layzerds @MisterJelliott @GameSpot More like a fad. BF2042 ****** up. Halo 6 ****** up. CoD has its fair share of issues. Overwatch 2 isnt out yet, but highly likely to **** up thanks to Diablo. Fortnite handles it well, but its just a cash grab for everyone else. GTA 6 better not go the live service route.

  • MageySenpai Magey (@MageySenpai) reported

    @plsconflux @OWAnonymous_ that cuz in Apex the aim assist is literally broken, overwatch is no where near that level.

  • shinigamiibabe Shinigamibabe (@shinigamiibabe) reported

    playing overwatch & getting high af because I can't sleep with my broken AC anyway. we have fans & a portable ac unit for now at least!

  • OSpiritheart jinxstan (@OSpiritheart) reported

    @XboxSupport yall really arent gonna do anything about the xim problem on xbox overwatch are yall?

  • Legoshi_BS Isaac 🇺🇦 (@Legoshi_BS) reported

    @SamitoFPS I think you are the biggest Problem for Overwatch

  • BoiledSoup3 BoiledSoup (@BoiledSoup3) reported

    @iwuvboobsfr have a friend that keep trying ti get me to fix my ps4 so i can play overwatch with him but those days are wayyyy behind me now i cant go back to that game

  • cynvou kaden (@cynvou) reported

    @WUBU12 I mean it is kind of a **** move, in a game that is so incredibly team based imo. Even in games like overwatch, people get flamed really hard for not fragging as characters that hypothetically should be. Same applies to valorant. I think the issue people have is that oftentimes -

  • Teckplayz9 teck (@Teckplayz9) reported

    @TAGibby @DeadMystX420 @IGN The main point of overwatch 2 is the pve. Overwatch 2 is just marketing. The reason why it is different is adopting a live service model and making sure the game gets updated monthly (heros 3 months iirc). There will be 2 new heros for release and new map.

  • mysterystar13 Arden Takeda (@mysterystar13) reported

    @plsconflux @OWAnonymous_ Apex aim assist is broken and I had to turn it off ON CONSOLE so the the game was playable. Overwatch aim assist is something you can only notice if you know what to look for.

  • nekochuofficial Nekochuofficial 🐾 (@nekochuofficial) reported

    someone please tell me how to fix this dumb server connection lost error in Overwatch

  • auzziejlee AUZZIE @ ANIME EXPO (@auzziejlee) reported

    tfw an overwatch DPS queue takes less time to get into than an air canada customer service call

  • JaimieMartel Jaimie Martel (@JaimieMartel) reported

    Overwatch 1 also used tricks to get your dopamine flowing in relation to lootboxes to try to get you to spend thousands on them and 2 will absolutely do the same. Please do not play this game if you have had addiction problems in the past or aren't getting dopamine elsewhere.

  • MapleMilkSquid Maple (@MapleMilkSquid) reported

    @FlareonOW @AC051996 @OWAnonymous_ No way u say in ur bio 4.2 peak but continue to say aim assist is broken on a game like overwatch.

  • mhartmanf2p Michael Hartman (@mhartmanf2p) reported

    @_DerekMatthew @TravisGafford That is a COMPLETELY different issue. Overwatch tried it and failed - then again there are a lot more problems with that esport. I do agree with you that regional LCS teams would be ******* hype as hell, even though I have no idea if it would work.

  • CatanachRudy Rudy Catanach (@CatanachRudy) reported

    @AskPS_UK hello again, ive been in contact a few times and havent heard a reply. i have a issue with a recent purchase that being the Overwatch 2 watchpoint pack. i havent noticed any change on my ps4 and the beta isnt in my library? please i need some help with this, thank you.

  • iiweirdness Weirdness (@iiweirdness) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ Hmm I kinda like this idea. Only problem is. Overwatch maps are like 5 times better than Valorant maps, and Valorant gameplay is completely different than Overwatch. So it wouldn’t really work

  • ingram_jemma Eclipse/EZBS - Commissions Open (@ingram_jemma) reported

    Overwatch 2 seems to be an easy to for the devs to ignore any balancing problems the first game might have. Like how mei is still allowed to be played. #overwatch

  • DolphiePyuu Dolphie 🌌🐬 2.0 Redebut ARC (@DolphiePyuu) reported

    Couldn't stream Overwatch and play smoothly v-v Im lagging too much my aim is brainded

  • dragantoosh Dragantoosh (@dragantoosh) reported

    @PlayOverwatch hello to everyone,i have a problem i bought the overwatch 2 pack on PS5,but it's showing me i can buy it again...I've got the transaction email soooo what's up?

  • playagetit 💕Rei💕 (@playagetit) reported

    @PaladinsGame Your servers need some fixing. Love the fact that when I’m this close to winning a match, I crash. And it has nothing to do with WiFi, your servers are just straight up ****. Thinking about moving to overwatch.

  • Jack05128774 yea (@Jack05128774) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey! so i bought the watchpoint pack and i got overwatch 1 legendary edition but it still shows the price tag, is that just a visual glitch or am i not gonna get the beta access?

  • Tim_StarSol_ Tim_StarSol (@Tim_StarSol_) reported

    Motivation to grind after the 10th game where my lane Cinder is dead before Zap. But unfortunately, I won’t quit the game, just like Overwatch. I love Pokémon like Absol and Talonflame too much to quit so PLEASE, FIX THE GAME! And make me care to get better.

  • Hey_I_Am_Eblan Kizumo (@Hey_I_Am_Eblan) reported

    @BlizzardCS Thanks for following back with the response. However it is still a bit strange that Overwatch 2 is labeled as "playable on PS4 only". Usually, when games are backwards compatible they don't have such a label. You might want to fix it to avoid further confusion. Thanks again !
